WINDOW MANAGEMENT WITH MEMORY
DeskMux borrows the speed and structure of terminal multiplexers and applies it to the Windows applications you already use.
Split a monitor into panes, move focus with the keyboard, resize neighboring apps, swap positions, or zoom one pane.
Sessions remember application membership, pane trees, monitor placement, and recent focus. Restore missing apps when you need them.
Each monitor can hold its own pane canvas. DeskMux responds to taskbars, DPI changes, and disconnected displays.
Choose a built-in light or dark theme, follow Windows, or create a custom color palette in the manager.
A SHORT PATH TO FOCUS
Choose your leader key, then use short commands to control sessions without reaching for the taskbar.
See every keyboard commandKeep coding, research, communication, or any other task in its own named workspace.
Capture windows you already have open or launch saved applications directly into a pane.
DeskMux brings the selected session forward and remembers its layout for the next time you return.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Install DeskMux for the simplest setup, or download the portable edition if you prefer to keep everything in one folder.
